Barberian's Steak House - Toronto

Me and a large group of close friends had an incredible meal here, with excellent service. The staff was quick and extremely pleasant, and explained all of the menu options to us in a thorough way. The drinks, appetizers and steak were all perfect and I would highly recommend Barbarians to anyone looking for a great night out. Extra shout out to the staff who also went above and beyond to give my party of 7 people a private room. Definitely a nice surprise we did not expect, but really appreciated.

Old feel restaurant like we are in the 70-80's no need to renovate the food here is fantastic. For the wine lovers there are hundreds if not thousands of bottles to choose from. The meat lovers, my ribsteak was cooked to perfection and the 28 days of resting really tenderized the meat giving it a soft moist and not chewing steak like other places. They have their own spices so it's not just a slab of meat and some salt. It was very flavourful and I really enjoyed it. The baked potato was just ok nothing special, they could definitely use some more options for the sides other than fries, baked potato, and onion rings. But you don't come to this restaurant for the sides or the apps. More the meat and the wine. The service was like no other. They constantly checked in, topped up our drinks and were very quick to clean the table and replace our cutlery. Great job loved the service. Would definitely come here.

I had high expectations for this steakhouse and unfortunately the service was mediocre which was a huge disappointment. Our server 'RR ' didn 't make any eye contact with us while at our table. Almost forgot about our side orders as well. The food itself was excellent! We had the potato croquettes, steak tartare, dry aged steak, filet mignon and the chocolate lava cake. The beef was cooked perfectly to our liking.

Maybe this restaurant was known for good service in years prior, but that is not at all what me and my partner received our last evening here. It was our anniversary and despite dressing up for the occasion, our waiter placed us in a corner of the restaurant without the slightest view of the place. He was not very attentive to us despite shmoozing up the table next to ours. He neglected to follow our order instructions and often ignored us when we asked for things. The food itself was nice. Wine was excellent. But it was hard to enjoy when everything else going on made us feel so unwanted. It was very expensive but what you’d expect from a fine dining establishment like this one. But honestly we wouldn’t spend that much again with such terrible service. I will note though that the bussers and other waiters were very lovely and helpful. This place is obviously not friendly towards people of different strides and ages. A shame, as we would have loved to return for the good food.

Wow!! Barberian's is a classic steakhouse and fine dining experience. It isn't super modern or over done they've really nailed the old school fine dining experience. The service is second to none the perfect blend of friendly but not familiar. The wine list as massive, as expected. The menu is simple but not small there is an impressive number of options while still focusing on what they do best. And lastly, the food everything you expect and more from a first class steakhouse. Barberian's is a must visit establishment in Toronto, especially if you're looking for a fine dining steakhouse with a classic feel.
